What It Means To Persist Through Time presents the Continuity Lens, a philosophical framework proposing that persistence is constituted by inherited continuity through transformation rather than by static identity. The work develops concepts including constitutive inheritance, continuity, lineage, integrity, continuity debt, fragmentation, and stewardship, and explores applications to artificial intelligence, biology, institutions, culture, knowledge, and personal identity. The first public edition is released to establish a citable, versioned record for future discussion, critique, and revision.
